Erie Lackawanna Songtext

Erie Lackawanna Songtext
THIS IS THE ROOM WHERE THEY WERE BORN
ALL OF THE KIDS GROWN UP SO LONG NOW
AND IF I'M QUIET I CAN HEAR THEM FIGHT
BUT THE ONLY REAL SOUND IS THAT WHISTLING TRAIN AT NIGHT

THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT HAS STAYED THE SAME
THE LONELY WHINE OF THE NEW YORK TRAIN
USED TO HEAR IT COMING FOR ME IN DREAMS
BUT NOW IT JUST SINGS ME TO SLEEP IT SEEMS
I CAN HEAR A WRECKING BALL COMING FOR THE HOUSE
SEE A WRECKING BALL GONNA TEAR IT DOWN

IN THIS KITCHEN WE WOULD LAUGH AND SING
NOW I EAT ALONE AT BURGER KING
MY WIFE USED TO COME HOME AND COOK THE MEALS
NOW MY DAUGHTER COMES WEEKLY TO FEED ME PILLS

I CAN HEAR A WRECKING BALL COMING FOR THE HOUSE
SEE A WRECKING BALL GONNA TEAR IT DOWN

USED TO RUN THROUGH FIELDS TO PUT PENNIES ON THE TRACK
NOW IT'S JUST BIG HOUSES WITH POOLS OUT BACK
THEY'LL BULLDOZE THIS HOUSE WHEN I AM GONE
AND NO-ONE WILL BE HERE TO SING THAT OLD TRAIN SONG

I CAN HEAR A WRECKING BALL COMING FOR THE HOUSE
SEE A WRECKING BALL GONNA TEAR IT DOWN
